Title: Common abbrevitions used in the forum Post by: gondel on June 12, 2014, 07:03:30 PM Hello,
I am posting this, because Me myself didnt know most of the abbreviations used in the forums before and was very difficult to understand what sometimes someone is meaning and was very hard to find in google what this abbreviation means ( Like OP, i didnt know what was the meaning of it :D :D) So here it is a site which shows most of the forum abbreviations: http://www.chatslang.com/terms/web_forums Hope this can help the community, not only for new forum members, but also for members who didnt use a forum before , because i am sure there is a lot of you who are newbies and dont know this things ( especially if your English is not your mother language) BR Title: Re: Common abbrevitions used in the forum Post by: hilariousandco on June 12, 2014, 07:12:18 PM If in doubt: giyf.

Hi,http://www.giyf.com/ I tried this one and dont understand if this a search engine like google or this one is totally different site? Forum abbreviations are something which not every time is on the first pages on google when you search for it. For example when you tipe OP in google there is no result like origina poster or something BR Gondel Title: Re: Common abbrevitions used in the forum Post by: hilariousandco on June 14, 2014, 10:40:23 AM Then search 'OP acronym/abbreviation' or whatever and you'll find an explanation on the first page. There's also this site which is brought up: http://www.acronymfinder.com/OP.html

Other of this is OP or to da moon (to indicate the big rise of a price) :D Title: Re: Common abbrevitions used in the forum Post by: Parazyd on June 14, 2014, 10:55:56 AM This is actually one of the very few forums that don't use all the abbreviations. I like it.

All of the slang on this forum was prior knowledge for me, and you don't have someone going around saying, "TTTFY CSB ERMAGEWD BRO".
